Westmeath Libraries Reopening 10 May 2021

From Monday, 10th May, Westmeath Libraries are open for browsing and borrowing. Due to the current government restrictions there will be no seating or study facilities, and we ask everyone to keep their visits short for the moment. We encourage everyone to use our self-service kiosks to issue and return items.

  • You can download the free Westmeath Libraries App which will allows you to search the catalogue and checkout your own books using your phone.
  • Our Surfbox printers will be available for photocopying and to collect printing ordered remotely. Visit https://www.printcopyandgo.com/print-location-search/ to access remote printing options in your local library.
  • Our public PCs are not available at this time.

Athlone, Mullingar, Moate, Castlepollard and Kilbeggan will open with late night service on Thursdays.
